Jumpstart is interactive.....

[maunir]

I created a jumpstart server and have the basic settings for host_class as a profile, sysidcfg and a rule file. After I do a boot net - install it goes thru the phases and after it finds the sysidcfg it goes to interactive mode. I'll attach all the necessary output and files. Also, I tested the dry-run method with the pfinstall command and it works just fine. I know I'm missing something but can't figure out where or what.

thanks

rules file:
#
# The following rule matches any system:
any - - host_class -

host_class file:
install_type initial_install
system_type standalone
partitioning explicit
filesys c0t0d0s0 10000 /
filesys c0t0d0s1 1024 swap
filesys c0t0d0s3 10000 /usr
filesys c0t0d0s4 free /var
filesys c0t0d0s5 10000 /opt
filesys c0t0d0s7 10000 /export/home
cluster SUNWCall

rules.ok file:
hostname mshah-sol - host_class -
any - - host_class -
# version=2 checksum=4750

sysidcfg file:
system_locale=en_US
timezone=US/Central
name_service=none
terminal=vt100
timeserver=localhost
network_interface=primary {protocol_ipv6=no netmask=255.255.255.0}
security_policy=none

Output after running "boot net - install"

I think the problem is with your sysidcfg file.
First run check -r rules

If everything is ok, you might try the following.

sysidcfg file:
system_locale=en_US
network_interface=primary {
hostname=XXX enter your hostname
ipaddress= enter it
netmask=255.255.255.0
default_route= enter it
protocol_ipv6=no netmask=}
timezone=US/Central
name_service=none
terminal=vt100
timeserver=localhost
security_policy=none

Hope this helps,

It worked and I thought of putting that additional network information, but does that mean that everytime I have to add a server I need to edit the file with the necessary info. Sorry this is my first time building a jumpstart server.
